Newt Gingrich and What Black People Need: Intellectualizing Racism

Over the last few weeks, Republican Party presidential nominee, Newt Gingrich, has found a way to make himself relevant again. Not to the Republican Party, because they are trying to find a way to sink him. Newt has become relevant to the always dysfunctional (and uncomfortable) race discourse in this nation.

The Monday Line: The ESPN-isation of the US Election

The Monday Line: The ESPN-isation of the US Election

GOP debates 14 & 15 allowed the candidates to attack each other in pithy attack sound bytes and avoid heavy lifting on real policy. How was something as serious as determining the next President reduced to an episode of “I’m a Celebrity Politician, Get Me Out of Here!”? It’s ESPN’s fault! This election is a [...]
